19 Although prophets were sent to them to turn them back to the LORD and to warn them, the people would not listen. 20 Then the spirit of God clothed Zechariah, son of Jehoiada the priest. He took his stand above the people and said to them: “Thus says God, Why are you transgressing the LORD’s commands, so that you cannot prosper? Because you have abandoned the LORD, he has abandoned you.” 21 But they conspired against him, and at the king’s command they stoned him in the court of the house of the LORD. 2 Chronicles 24:19-21, New American Bible Revised.
